Bowness

Bowness was an independent town until 1963 when it was amalgamated with Calgary.  It has its own Main Street, which has seen very little changes over the past 50 years. It has the quintessential 20th century North American town Main Street – extra wide to allow for diagonal parking and eclectic mix of one and two store shops in all shapes and styles.

Bowness has a rich history.  It was home to Calgary’s first airport and it has one of Calgary’s signature parks – Bowness Park on the south shore of the mighty Bow River. In the winter the park is home to a wonderful outdoor skating rink that is one of the best in Canada.

Bowness has a population of 11,012 living in 5,313 dwellings.  Residents in this community have a median household income of $40,468, and there are 24.1% low income residents living in the neighbourhood.

For its 11,012 residents, the Bow River and 100-year-old Bowness Park are main attractions, plus there is quick access to anywhere in the city, and within minutes residents can be on their way to the mountains via the Trans-Canada Highway. Today, the park is undergoing needed restoration, including a rebuilt miniature ride-on train, which will soon delight families again with tours of the park.

Bowness Park also features:

The community also boasts easy quick access to other natural parks such as Edworthy and Bowmont. Residents enjoyShouldice Pool as well as the Atheltic Park in the community. COP (Canada Olympic Park) is right across from this neighbourhood, on the south side of 16th Avenue NW. There is always great winter and summer fun to be had at COP.

There is local shopping all along 16th Avenue including North Hill Mall, but the community is not very far from Market Mall,one of the cities largest shopping centres.

Description

**OPEN HOUSE SAT. MAY 3, 2PM-4PM** Welcome to 3427 Bonita Crescent NW, a true Bowness original, lovingly maintained by the same owner since day one. Tucked away on a quiet street with a sunny west-facing backyard, this detached bi-level is full of potential — whether you’re looking for your first home, a project to personalize, or a property to add a future legal/illegal suite (pending City approval), this one’s worth a closer look. Step inside and head up to the main living area, where you’re greeted by original hardwood floors and a classic wood-burning fireplace — the kind of space that instantly feels like home. Just off the living room is the dining area, with room for family dinners or hosting friends. The kitchen is surprisingly spacious, with an eat-in area that opens out onto the back deck — perfect for BBQs, coffee in the morning sun, or catching golden hour in the evening. Down the hall, you’ll find two nearly identical bedrooms — ideal for kids, guests, or a home office setup — and a 4-piece bathroom nearby. At the end of the hall is the spacious primary bedroom, offering a quiet retreat with plenty of room to stretch out. Head downstairs and you’ll find a large rec room ready for anything — movie nights, a home gym, or a space to just hang out. There are two more generously sized bedrooms on this level, plus laundry and a separate entrance that opens the door for future suite potential (pending City approval). Step outside to the large backyard, where there’s space to relax, garden, or let the dogs run free. The patio is great for entertaining, and the double detached garage plus extra-large parking pad out back means you’ve got room for vehicles, a trailer, or RV storage — whatever you need. In a community like Bowness, where local charm, green spaces, and riverside pathways are just part of daily life, this is a home that gives you the chance to make something truly your own.
